This simple, red-brick building – Oslo's city hall – houses colorful murals and frescoes depicting aspects of Norway's history, culture, and economy. The hall and grounds feature paintings, tapestries, sculpture, and woodcarvings by such Norwegian artists as Edvard Munch, Per Krogh, Dyre Vaa, and Dagfin Werenskiold. Other noteworthy features of the structure include easy-to-spot twin towers and a clock face that's one of Europe's largest. Each December, the world's attention turns to Norway's city hall when it hosts ceremonies for the Nobel Peace Prize. Guided tours are available in English but need to be pre-booked.
